In September 2019, I paid $380 to have Malloy’s Mobile Detailing wash Wild Thing. It was SO worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3 of my own wash experience and I am half way done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I am tired and a little sore. Up and down the ladder, being careful on the ladder, being careful with the power\/water\/wand of the power washer, directing the power washer, scrubbing with a long handled brush … back and forth to water supply. GAH! In hindsight, I wish I had called Malloy’s again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, I am half done and will finish the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This morning, I gave the back driver side section another round … and the back end its first go. AND, I emptied all of the basement storage, sorted what could be kept and what was throw away AND washed out all of the compartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, it is warm but not HOT (70F when I was working) and low humidity so everything is drying nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rear (one pass so far) and the untouched passenger side. It might not look bad in the photo, but above the rear slide and the awning and any “grooves” … lots of dirt, mold, mildew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think 2-3 more morning sessions for the outside\/passenger side basement compartments and then she can return to her normal spot for the interior. Heads up… the interior looks a bit like The Addams Family: spider webs, dead flies … probably mouse droppings when I get all opened up. It will be a 3-4 day steam clean and vacuum extravaganza :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I was cleaning up to sell, but I’m now not sure. We’ll see. I contacted local dealers re consignment sale … I don’t need this size RV … but she has been a good ship and I don’t know…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Morning scratch and snuggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The wind shifted, the smoke lifted and it has been a beautiful Labor Day Monday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lovely light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Happy Emmett!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The front porch continues to look beautiful with all plants thriving!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tomatoes are slowly ripening … I’ve had a small, consistent supply of the Husky Cherry tomatoes. The Manitoba … 1 so far has ripened. But so much fun even if not exactly an economical venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And inside … the change in light angle … Autumn light which is my favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a glorious Labor Day weekend. I have enjoyed all of it: motorhome cleanup, time with Emmett, some cooking and baking and some downtime reading and catching up on my YouTube favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheers!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
